That does not take away that we are still very limited in the messages we can send though
I just wanted to inform you
that the word limit in the private messages and in chat is too less
Its not at all enough to explain things about the farm to other players..
I request you to increase this word limit
Regards,
Farmer
i think most every player will agree with that. i know i will. just not enough room in one message to explain how to do any thing. i know our new members get fustrated because they try to explain where they need help and it takes 2 or 3 messages for them to explain and it takes us that many or more to explain it to them. it would be so nice if the limit was larger
My guess is the short message length is due to storage. Messages are kept on a different/smaller portion of the server, so they want to minimize the size. But the chosen message length is prohibiting a part of the co-ops that could be really helpful, instead of irritating.
Gwendolens worries...
... are one of the reasons why we cannot extend the character limit for private and chat messages.
Longer messages increase the amaount of data we have to save, send, load and keep until deleted, which could potentially lower performance. That's why we probably won't be able to extend the limit further.

Maybe it could help a little for saving the amount of data, if you totaly remove that stupid censor... it's doing more bad works than good works!
True!!
Or make it better, for every language.
I personally think this excuse is hogwash. The mail doesn't have formatting of any kind, and no images, sounds, etc. It's the smallest amount of data in the entire game.
Here's an idea. I bet if the code was cleaned up, so there are fewer bugs, that alone would probably provide a lot of extra storage space.
I don't play the horse ranch and those images alone probably take up more space and load time than my entire inbox. Text always loads the fastest. That huge airport is another hog of load time. I've only played the viking farm the very first time it made its debut, because I was tricked into playing it. Yeah, I don't get a full ship each time, but since I have no interest in the horses, I really don't care. Get rid of those images. Maybe just making them smaller would help.
Plain text is always the easiest and fastest data to move, load, store, and load. I don't see any messages but the one I'm reading or writing being displayed simultaneously. So there really wouldn't be a noticeable lag, if any at all.
I think an increase in message size should be reasonable. Of course, allowing people to write novels would be a horrendous waste of time and be a burden to store. But a small increase in message size would be beneficial to everyone. Besides, the minimal message size now causes some people to repeat what they say in messages, because they can't easily return to the old message to refresh their memories. I've done this myself - can't even see all the details of the message I am replying to without starting over. Nor can I paste it into the body of the reply to refer to, because, then, you guessed it, hit the character limit before I can even add a word in reply.
In the year 2015, I never would have thought someone would actually use that 1980's excuse of plain text being slow, in such miniscule amounts. Even worse is there are people that would actually swallow that lame cop out because they don't know and defer to the "experts", believing whatever they say. Instead of just stating the truth that the mail system doesn't earn money, so it is and always will be irrelevant to this company. It works good enough, so we are supposed to be happy with it and appreciative.
Now, get back to buying and spending the gold.
I know this has been requested elsewhere, but its too late to look for it and I am sure a forum moderator will move it for me, and then I will not find it again.
Put the little red exclamation mark on so I know that there is something new but please leave me where I am!!!
- Place cursor in chatfield
- Use Ctrl+a to select everything
- Paste in word or something similar, to easily read back
It's no solution, but it's a usefull band-aid.
Coincidently I was looking through the cookies etc on the computer the other day and upon loading Big farm i was astounded at the amount of data/files/cookies from big farm, every single item, every deco,building etc had its own file/cookie. Next time I look I'll do a screen shot and post it on here. there were pages and pages just from Big Farm.
Can we please have some more characters allowed in the e-mails. Writing coop messages is crap now because i always have to cut down the text because it is too "long" ??
It is hard to explain something in the game to your coop if your only allowed e-mails of 10 letters or something....
Kind regards,
Whis.
Although I'd also like to se private real life chat with team mates and other players. Sorting out some things through mail or on team chat is often very clumsy.
Also, when you send group message to all team mates, they can see it immediatelly after logging in the game. Forum messages, as far as I know, have no direct signaling to the game. So again, can't replace it. Can complement other means of communication, but not effectively replace it.
So longer mail text would be very welcome.
Thank you everyone you all have been very helpful to me as why I cant write my letters to say how people have done in the missions/tasks. I have found it very frustrating and I do not want to send 2 or 3 emails at a time to give the same info.
Plz ggs can this plz be fixed.
yes i agree; and there shud be longer messages in chat box too
remove the limit
The forums although helpful at times they are just a way for GGS to deflect the complaints or criticism, the replies will be it was on the forum ! we told you on the forum
